So at the very least, it was administratively possible for banks to disclose to their clients that their accounts had been frozen under the authority of the Emergencies Act.

This is perhaps asking for a little bit of speculation from you, but do you think it would have been useful to banks' clients to know that their account was frozen under the authority of the Emergencies Act, or that if they wanted to pursue remedies against the government, for instance, if they felt that the freezing of their account had been inappropriate, that it would be useful documentation for them to have?

Okay, and that's true today. If someone has had their account frozen and they're not sure why, they'd call their bank and ask the question, and the bank would give them the answer of what authority that account was frozen under.

I think it was mentioned earlier...and this was the first time this particular act has ever been used, namely that we've had an emergency declared under this act.
Do you think, if it happens again and similar financial measures are put in place, that it would make sense for the government to require banks to notify clients that their accounts had been frozen as a result of the Emergencies Act?

Thank you again, Ms. Mason.
You said in your earlier comments that the government didn't address the question of notification, and how to notify folks that their accounts had been frozen and under what authority they had been frozen.
In other cases, under other laws where accounts are frozen, is it typical that a court order would address the question of notification?

Okay.
On the question of joint accounts, which came up earlier, you said that this was something that was being addressed as a potential problem and there was some discussion about how it might be solved. Do you think it would be useful to carry on those discussions and, in future, if government does ever use provisions like this again, for there to be some more clear direction at the outset as to how difficult cases like those would be managed?

Do you think it would be useful to your members in a future event, if something similar were to happen, to have more direction upfront from the government as to how they'd like those more complicated scenarios to be handled?

Thank you.
I think one of the important tasks for this committee is going to be to try to make some recommendations to government about what it did that it perhaps should not have done, or how, if it does similar things in the future, it could do them better. I'm just wondering. As you have said many times, banks are customer-based organizations. This clearly was something that had an impact on some customers. I'm wondering if you have any recommendations that you want to offer to the committee for its consideration about what kind of supplementary direction government might provide or what else it might seek to include in a similar order, in order to have a better process in the event that something like this happens again.

Thank you very much.
I just want to go over this ground again. It's been said that these leaked lists of donors were not part of the information that was passed on by the RCMP to financial institutions. So how did the RCMP develop the list that they forwarded on to financial institutions? Would RCMP members on the ground have taken licence plates and derived the identity of the owner of the car that way? Were they card-checking people on the street in Ottawa? How did they identify the individuals who ended up on a list of names that the RCMP communicated to financial institutions?

Okay. We've also heard that only the names of people who were in the area were passed on. Was it only the names of people who were thought to be in Ottawa that were passed on, or were there names from the border blockades as well?

It's also been said that once people left the area in Ottawa, their accounts could be unfrozen. What did that process look like? Was that a kind of individual-led process? They got out of the area and they wanted to let somebody know. They wanted their account unfrozen, so they were going to call the RCMP or their financial institution. Did the RCMP proactively provide information to financial institutions if the RCMP independently was satisfied that the person had left? What was the verification procedure for unfreezing accounts, for confirming that people were no longer in the area in Ottawa?

One of the things we've heard is that when people's accounts were frozen under the authority of the Emergencies Act, it was up to the financial institution that they bank with to decide whether to notify them that their account has been frozen under the authority of the Emergencies Act.
Do you think that ensuring that people were notified that their account was frozen as a direct result of the authorities granted under the Emergences Act would have helped or enhanced the deterrent effect of freezing accounts?

Would you say that the RCMP at least made an effort to contact everyone who was on the list you shared with financial institutions, prior to handing over the name?
